Answer:

The probability is 0.4909

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation for nCk give as the number of ways in which we can select k elements from a group of n elements:

nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Then, there are 220 ways in which we can select 3 candies from the 12 that are in the pack. It is calculated as:

12C3=\frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!}=220

On the other hand, there are 108 different ways to select the 3 candies in which they are all different flavors. It is calculated as:

4C3 * 3C1 * 3C1 * 3C1 = 108

Because, 4C3 give us the number of ways to select 3 flavors from the 4 flavors. From this 3 flavors selected, we are going to select one candie from each one, so we multiply 3 times by 3C1, one for each flavor.

Finally, the probability is the division between the number of ways in which we can select 3 candies with different flavors and the total number of ways in which we can select 3 candies from the 12 in the pack. This is:

P=\frac{108}{220}=0.4909

Step-by-step explanation:

7) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is decreasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 1/3 gets smaller and smaller.

8) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is increasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 2 gets bigger and bigger.

9) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is increasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 2 gets bigger and bigger.

10) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is increasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 2 gets bigger and bigger.

Grade 7 Need help with proportions (PICTURE INCLUDED)
jeka57 [31]
What you are doing with proportions most the time is solving for a variable which in this example I will use an x. You have to do something called cross multiplying. now look at number 21. when you cross multiply you multiply the number of the top part of the fraction on the left side to the bottom part of the fraction on the right side. In that example 1 × 36 = 36. now write 36 = 16x since you have to cross multiply the other parts of the fraction. Then you would divide both sides of the equation by 16. I will make a mixed fraction for this example. 2 4/16 which simplified equals 2 1/4
